Posted August 11, 2008 PLACEBO - THE RETURN!Placebo are back in the studio working on a new album! The band finished their last touring campaign in September of last year in the USA (on the Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance). Since then the band have taken some much needed time out and over the past couple of months have been hard at work writing and demoing new material in London. The boys are now recording with producer David Bottrill (the man behind Tool’s ‘Aenima’, ‘Salival’ and ‘Lateralus’ albums, Silverchair’s ‘Diorama’ and dEUS ‘The Ideal Crash’). Engineering the album is James Brown who worked with the band on ‘Meds’. ...And on the drums with Placebo...?????!!!!! Introducing... Mr Steve Forrest! Hailing from Modesto, California, he was previously the drummer with American rock band, ‘Evaline’. Some of you may have spotted Steve playing with Evaline supporting Placebo on their US tour in October '06. And from a Placebo forum: On a recent trip to Toronto, I ran into queer guitarist Stefan Olsdal from the British alternative-rock trio Placebo. He said they were in Canada recording new album with a new drummer. The already written material will have a rock edge to it in the style of PJ Harvey and My Bloody Valentine. Olsdal also promises that Placebo will take to the road again soon. Placebo's 2006 opus, Meds, features Alison Mosshart from the Kills on the title track and the remake of Kate Bush's “Running up That Hill" had its video—consisting of a collage of fan clips—come out last year. Yay. Although I never realised they'd stopped. I knew the drummer left though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 11, 2008 Sorry to taint this thread, but I wasn't sure if I could live with myself if I created a separate one. Basically I was just wondering if anyone had some to share¹? You know, the kind that's so bad you really want it to be ironic, even though in your heart — which is busy free-falling — you know it isn't. ¹I mean this in a similar sense to how one might 'share' chlamydia. i have a shit load ha. annd those you watch american dad might remember this one. fucking weird though. you dont get much better than these lyrics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 12, 2008 Yup, love them. I had a ton of their stuff on my laptop, until that fucked up. Awesome. Didn't figure you to be the type man. Good stuff I have And The Circus Leaves Town which rocks immeasurably. They remind me of Mogwai but a bit less intense. It's great music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's great music. Not the type?! You still have a lot to learn, Danny Boy. For some reason, I have The Beautiful Ones, by Suede stuck in my head. It's been in there all day.

Posted August 13, 2008 I dont usually like anything that hits the charts, but i have to admit i quite like the Ting Tings. So catchy and funky at the same time, it's the first time in ages i've been impressed when watching MTV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 13, 2008 New Metallica song - "Cynanide" performed live Can't really judge it in that quality. At least it's metal again, not the lame rock of the last albums. It's really not as heavy as any of their 80s stuff it seems, but oh well. I quite like that recurring riff they start the song with. It's featured in the Death Magnetic previews as well. Here's the tracklist of Death Magnetic: That Was Just Your LifeThe End Of The Line Broken, Beat & Scarred The Day That Never Comes All Nightmare Long Cyanide The Unforgiven III The Judas Kiss Suicide & Redemption My Apocalypse Another The Unforgiven there [/captain obvious] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
